Alongside the Wild Loire River
Self-guided bike tour from Orléans to Blois
Orléans / Beaugency
You arrive in Orléans by your own means, preferably in the morning, and come to our bike shop. We give you your road book, your bikes, and all the useful information.
The tour starts on the river Loire banks before taking the very contemporary "pont de l’Europe" (Europe bridge) towards the village of Saint-Hilaire–Saint–Mesmin at the confluence of the Loire and Loiret rivers. You will then leave the levee to take a dirt path leading you to Meung-sur-Loire. You will finish you day riding along the Mauve and arrive in the beautiful city of Beaugency through orchards.
Beaugency / Blois
Leaving Beaugency and its ancient bridge, you will make a detour by “les Eaux bleues" (Blue Waters) and “les sables d'Or" (Golden Sands) to Tavers. You will then ride on the little road leading to Lestiou before reaching the bridge of Muides where you will find your way back on the levee leading you to Blois.
You will drop your bikes off in our agency of Blois, where you will pick your luggage up. Leaving Blois by your own means, the station is only two minutes walking distance from our shop!
